For real American's 🇺🇸: Has our American 🇺🇸 flag lost it's meaning now since other countries are laughing at America because it's ruined now?

Question

Our president never even talks about our military. Why not?

Yesterday people from other countries were protesting in America and chanting "Death to America" and burning American flags. They were doing this in America! Seemed like it was ok that they were here doing this. Only a handful were arrested.

If we went to their country, burned their flags and chanted "Death to Iran" they probably would have beheaded the people burning THEIR flag.
What you say?

they are upset that little kids are being bombed and starved to death. can you imagine the suffering when even a splinter lands in a finger and there isn't much help... let alone the level of injury (missing legs and arms and eyes and split skulls and crushed under buildings), hunger and thirst that is really going on the media does not and cannot communicate? I won't even mention the misery of the hostages, what few are probably alive anymore by way of hamas or Isreal killing them.

So go ahead and burn it, it's freedom and was done before many times... recall something called Vietnam? but it maintains it's meaning to me which means I get to say all this wihtout being hauled off by police and disappearing... like in China as example.

if anything, the ability to protest the flag in the country is a strength. where else can yo udo that?

I go back and forth about this... I don't think our flag has lost all of it's meaning, but I do think it's lost a lot. The political left of this country has done an unbelievable amount of damage through the idea of international collectivism, in that regard. The left has come to actively support whoring the American people out to the corporations.

I used to support collectivism as well, but it's just become abundantly obvious that this system isn't working. And it doesn't seem like it ever will. Even more than not working, it's unbelievably expensive for Americans.

When you have an entire half of the country firmly believing that the US taxpayer has some kind obligation to pay FAR MORE than its fair share for programs that aren't giving the intended benefit... you just have to wonder.

I think it's more distressing to look at our debt spiraling out of control. Who gives a damn about other country's opinion of us. The whole goal of putting military pressure on them should be for self defense, crushing our enemies, or as a lever during diplomacy.

We don't seem to use if for any of those since Indochina I&II. Probably the best example is attacking Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11. Logically we should have attacked Saudi Arabia as that's where Bin Laden and most of the hijackers were from.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the flag stands for freedom, even the freedom to destroy it, though it is ironic. The freedom to be a dumbass, make poor decisions. Vote for a government that will make all your decisions, then yell about it and call them fascists or whatever.

People have freedom of speech in America. If they want to talk shit, that’s fine. No big deal. When they come to your house on private property saying death to you then just give them the ol dirt nap. America is actually getting better, because the central government is losing power and the states are gaining power. The deep state is being destroyed. You just have to be in a good state to reap the benefits of the calamity. If you don’t like your atmosphere, then relocated to a better cultural location.

Burning the American flag is covered under our rights as freedom of expression. It has been happening for many decades. I served for 20 years in the military to protect our rights. While I may not like seeing it, I respect their right to do it. Often times when people in other countries chant "Death to America", they have no idea of what America stands for because they only know what their government tells them. When the U. S. went into Iraq, Iraqi soldiers were surrendering to us asking us to please not eat them! Their government told them we are cannibals! The others who protest from here probably wouldn't last a week in another country.

If you were going to Iran, you don't need to do any of these, just tell them that you're American and they will behead you immediatly 🤣🤣

You're problem in the U. S is that you have so much freedom beyond the red lines, a lot of americans had lost their morals and values, also what would you expect when you vote for a sh*tty president like that?

It's very simple, you want to make america great again? Vote for the man of the hard times, Donald J. Trump, and please don't ask me why i like him and this and that!

The American flag is a symbol of freedom and unity. The 13 red and white stripes represent the original 13 colonies. The 50 white stars on blue background represents the 50 states. Red symbolizes valor and bravery, White symbolizes purity and innocence, and blue represents vigilance, perseverance, and justice.

The colors on the flag and their meanings are what these leftists are burning. They don’t believe the country represents those things anymore. So they’re destroying those meanings by burning the flag. It’s sad when you realize they’re the reason the country doesn’t represent those things anymore.

America and her flag have taken more than a few dings. We have millions of illegal terrorist chanting Death to America due to the actions of THE DEMOCRATIC COMMUNIST PARTY OF AMERICA trying to destroy the America we know and love simply for money and power. America still stands BLOODIED BUT NOT BOWED TO ANYONE. Be aware that this country has a big target on it, and we will be attacked again possibly worse than 911. My money the attack will be with a NUKE because the people who would use it don't value life not even their own countrymen living here, and it will kill millions and hurt tens of millions.

As for the red, white & blue some people laugh at it, some people don’t respect it, some people burn it & some people destroy it. As for me I always hear how our country should go green & with a flag like this I agree & more probably would respect it.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Only temporarily. Once the adults get back in charge, they won't be laughing, anymore.

DrPepper12 · Answer

I'm all for protected symbolic speech like flag burning. So what? Let them chant and burn. As far as others laughing at us we deserve it after "electing" Trump. I hope I still count as a 'real American" whatever that means...🤔

When I was in high school if anyone burned an American flag you can bet he would get a beat down and the cops would not have said a thing. Sometimes I miss those days

Surely · Answer

I liked your question. But there is nothing to like about the situation! The protesters should be sent to Iran with a no return policy. I guess November will show if a majority of people in America likes what is going on!

OtterMan68 · Answer

People have been chanting "Death to America" for years, Donald Trump spoke at the UN when he was President, and he was laughed at. You think this is all new?

handsomelad70 · Answer

Don't compare America to backwards theocracies like Iran, but then again, America is quite far behind the rest of the First World in many aspects of life.

goebenbreslau · Answer

you're being unfair to your president he's talking about the American military for example, he's talking about letting transgender people in the army😂

SotiCoto · Answer

Don't worry. Over here in Britain the Americans have always been regarded as a joke.
